Abstract (en)
An apparatus and method are disclosed for making connections between the pins of a multi-pin component and sockets or posts mounted on a circuit board. A plurality of converter elements are installed between the component pins and sockets or posts. Each converter element includes a receptor for mating with a pin of the multiple pin component. The receptor is sized to engage a pin having any diameter within a coarse range of diameters. In the circuit board socket arrangement, each converter element also includes a precision pin for mating with a socket on the circuit board. The diameter of the precision pin is held to a tolerance so that it is within a precision range of diameters. The variation in diameter within the precision range is less than the variation within the coarse range of diameters.
